The Philadelphia Eagles will face the New England Patriots after beating the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday 38 to 7. The Patriots beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 24 to 20 in a nailbiter game. The Eagles last went to the Super Bowl in 2004, where they lost against the Patriots 21 to 24.

Who is performing at the Super Bowl 2018 halftime show?

Justin Timberlake announced in October that he would be performing at the Super Bowl 2018 halftime show. This marks the singer’s third appearance in a Super Bowl halftime show, and his first since his unforgettable 2004 performance of “Rock Your Body” with Janet Jackson.

Timberlake ripped off a piece of Jackson’s costume during the halftime show and revealed part of her breast, a controversial incident dubbed “Nipplegate.” Both apologized and Timberlake called the reveal a “wardrobe malfunction.”

While some see this as a redemption for Timberlake, whose career has taken off since the early 2000s, other fans were not happy that he is now being invited back while Jackson has not returned to perform for a Super Bowl halftime show.
